Cassandra and Hadoop

Cassandra and Hadoop deliver big data benefits.

Cassandra and Hadoop are essential technologies for many companies seeking to enter the age of big data. The Hadoop big data framework provides the reliable, scalable and distributed computing enterprises need to manage massive amounts of data. And Cassandra's linear scalability and proven fault tolerance make it an indispensable database for storing and processing business-critical data.

But implementing and managing Cassandra and Hadoop raises a lot of questions for any enterprise. Do they have the infrastructure in place to support it? Most organizations don't and will need to acquire modern data platforms that delivery greater efficiency and manageability. Will legacy integration tools be adequate to manage massive data sets? Likely not – most legacy systems can't scale quickly enough to manage big data and all the new data sources that are emerging. Do they have developers on staff who can manage a Cassandra and Hadoop implementation? Doubtful, as very few developers have skills in these technologies.

The choice for any enterprise seeking to utilize Cassandra and Hadoop is whether to invest a lot of time and money in training staff and acquiring new infrastructure – or to rely on Talend software for big data, which provides easy-to-use tools that let organizations manage Cassandra and Hadoop with the resources you have today.
